Let AB, DC meet at H so that E is the incentre of Tr. AHD and < BGE = < DGE = 30.
ReplyDeleteAlso easily < ACD = 60 + A/2 = < DBG ( A + 60 - A/2) making BECH concylic
Hence BE = CE = 2FE since Tr . ECF is 30-60-90.
Further Tr. s GED is congruent to Tr. CED case ASA making EG = EC
I am not sure from "E is the incentre of Tr. AHD" , you get " < BGE = < DGE = 30.
Deleteplease explain .
Peter
Just a typo replace < BGE = < DGE = 30 with < BHE = < DHE = 30
DeleteI could not complete the last line
ReplyDeleteHence EG = 2FE

ReplyDeleteBA meet CD at M
Since ∠(A)+ ∠(D)= 120 =>∠(M)=60
Since EA and ED bisect ∠(A) and ∠(D) => E is in center if trị. MAD and ME bisect ∠((M) and ∠( AED)=120
MBEC is cyclic and chord BE=chord EC => trị BED is isosceles
Triangle EFC is 30-60-90 triangle => EC= 2. EF
Triangles ECD and EDG are congruence…. ( case ASA) => EG=EC=2. EF

ReplyDeleteWhy Tr CED congrc to EGD
ASA. ED common. <GDE = <CDE and < GED = < CED = 60 which I'm sure u can figure out why.
ReplyDeleteOK to Sumith
ReplyDeleteFrom congr in tr BGC, GF median and BM median (M on GC)
=>EG = 2FE
Interestingly Tr. BGC is equilateral from which the result EG = 2 FE is obvious.
